51NB is a striking warm contemporary oceanfront residence defined by two equal-sized white cubic volumes that appear to float dramatically above the living spaces. Oriented east and west, these elevated cubes house the expansive primary bedroom suite on the upper level, while the lower portions contain two junior suites and a guest room.
The entire first-floor living area is raised on a platform to capture sweeping ocean views across the dunes. Two distinct yet connected pools wrap the ocean and south sides of the house. The ocean-facing pool, clad in deep black stone, functions as a tranquil lounge pool complete with a large floating platform, sun loungers, and a hot tub tucked into the northeast corner. Adjacent to it, a dramatic elevated lap pool over 100 feet in length terminates in a cascading waterfall overflow at the entrance side, creating a spectacular water feature that flows beneath the western volume. Stepping stones cross this reflective pool, leading to a staircase that rises to the elevated front patio and main entrance.
The ground level forms a solid, monolithic plinth clad in warm beige limestone that emerges from the earth, allowing the pristine white volumes to appear as if they are levitating above it. Toward the street, the western volume cantilevers boldly nearly 15 feet outward, creating a generous covered arrival and parking area below. A four-car garage with two integrated turntables ensures effortless vehicle access.
A signature element of the home is the three-story cylindrical glass elevator, complemented by a sculptural cantilevered staircase that seamlessly connects the ground-level entertainment, gym, spa, and garage areas all the way up to the primary suite.
